Pink Panther Strikes Again 22 Assassins

The Pink Panther Strikes Once more is a 1976 comedy sequel motion-picture show, It 5th movie in Pink Panther Films.

Plot

At a psychiatric hospital, erstwhile Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) is largely recovered from the murderous insanity that saw him repeatedly attempt to kill the thorn in his side, Inspector Jacques Clouseau. He is nearly to exist released merely Clouseau (Peter Sellers), who is now Principal Inspector and has arrived to speak on Dreyfus'due south behalf, comes to visit, and his clumsiness and repeated tendency towards accidents drive Dreyfus insane again.

The opening credits brainstorm with an animated Inspector Clouseau inbound a movie theater hall to watch a film. He is constantly beleaguered by the Pink Panther, however, and when the Panther appears on the screen impersonating various features (Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Batman, King Kong, The Sound of Music, Dracula, Singin' in the Pelting, and Steamboat Bill Jr.), the Inspector finally loses his temper and climbs into the screen to get him... catastrophe up trapped inside.

Soon thereafter, Dreyfus escapes from the asylum, intent on killing Clouseau. His first try involves planting a bomb whilst Clouseau destructively duels with his manservant Cato (Burt Kwouk), who is under orders, from Clouseau, to continue Clouseau alert past randomly attacking him. The bomb merely destroys Clouseau's apartment whilst Clouseau himself is unharmed, largely because Clouseau has been distracted past an inflatable costume and a telephone call by Dreyfus which was meant to keep him in place for the bombing. Cato, however, ends up in the infirmary.

Dreyfus sets his sights college. Using his knowledge of the underworld, he enlists the help of an ground forces of fell criminals, kidnaps nuclear physicist Professor Hugo Fassbender (Richard Vernon) and the Professor'due south daughter Margo (Briony McRoberts), forcing the professor to build a "doomsday weapon" in return for his daughter's liberty. As Hugo Fassbender cannot bear to hear his daughter undergoing Dreyfus's torture (which consists of forcing her to heed to nails dragged across a blackboard), he agrees.

Clouseau travels to England to investigate Fassbender's disappearance, with typically chaotic results, as Scotland Yard Section Director Alec Drummond (Colin Blakely) and Superintendent Quinlan (Leonard Rossiter) painfully learn. However, Clouseau manages to set his sights on Jarvis, the cantankerous-dressing butler of the Fassbenders, and while Jarvis is killed by the kidnappers, to whom he had become a dangerous witness, Clouseau follows a clue found on the criminal offence scene to the Oktoberfest in Deutschland. Meanwhile Dreyfus broadcasts himself to the globe to denote his ultimatum. Disintegrating the United Nations headquarters in New York Metropolis before the disbelieving eyes of the world, he blackmails the leaders of the world, including the President of the U.s.a. (a thinly veiled impersonation of Gerald Ford, brash by a similarly poorly inconspicuous Henry Kissinger), into assassinating Clouseau.

Forced to accept Dreyfus'due south threat seriously, several nations send assassins to kill Clouseau at the Oktoberfest. Many of the nations, all the same, instruct their assassins to kill other assassins if necessary in social club to ensure that their own country tin impale Clouseau and thus win Dreyfus'due south favor and maybe get hold of the Doomsday Machine themselves. This, combined with Clouseau's typical bumbling fashion, enables Clouseau to evade each assassination effort simply as information technology is nigh to happen, so that the assassins all impale each other instead. In the stop, only the operatives of Egypt and Russia remain alive.

The Egyptian assassin (an uncredited cameo by Omar Sharif), sneaking into Clouseau'due south hotel room, shoots a man he believes to be Clouseau (who is in fact one of Dreyfus's henchmen, who had taken it upon himself to kill Clouseau). The Russian operative, Olga Bariosova (Lesley-Anne Down), who has sneaked into Clouseau'south room, seduces the Egyptian, similarly mistaking him for Clouseau. His passionate sexuality convinces her non to assassinate him; when the real Clouseau makes an appearance, he is surprised to find a cute yet nude woman in his bed who confuses him further by declaring her undying passion for him, snogging him all over his face up every few minutes in the process, and by finding a dead homo in his bathroom. A tattoo on the dead human, combined with Olga's dismissively revealed knowledge, reveals to Clouseau Dreyfus's location at a castle in Bavaria. He leaves immediately leaving a dislocated and frustrated Olga behind him.

Dreyfus is elated at Clouseau'due south apparent demise, but his joy is soured by a bad instance of toothache. Clouseau, who has arrived in the village near Dreyfus's castle simply has been denied entry into the castle by a mischievous drawbridge, eventually infiltrates Dreyfus's castle hideout disguised every bit a dentist, intoxicates Dreyfus (and himself) with nitrous oxide, and pulls one of Dreyfus'due south healthy teeth. Realising the deception, Dreyfus orders Clouseau killed, but Clouseau escapes.

Enraged, Dreyfus means to seek vengeance on the earth by destroying England; as he prepares for this, Clouseau, who has been thrown into the castle'southward barnyard, is literally catapulted onto Dreyfus'due south doomsday machine. Clouseau's weight redirects the disintegrator so that the beam hits Dreyfus (causing him to start to disintegrate, from the feet up) and the castle. As Dreyfus's henchmen, Fassbender, and his daughter, and eventually Clouseau himself escape the dissolving castle, Dreyfus plays "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" on the castle'southward pipe organ, while gradually disintegrating. The castle and so disappears entirely, taking Dreyfus with it.

Returning to Paris, Clouseau is reunited with Olga, who has dismissed Cato for the evening and intends on completing her seduction of Clouseau. This is interrupted first by Clouseau's credible inability to remove his apparel without a struggle, and so by Cato, who chooses this time to once more follow his orders and assail Clouseau and Olga. The consistent struggle ends when all three are hurled past a reclining bed into the Seine. Immediately thereafter, a cartoon image of Clouseau emerges from the h2o, which has been tinted pink, and begins swimming, unaware that a gigantic version of the Pink Panther grapheme is waiting beneath him with a sharp-toothed, open rima oris (a reference to the film Jaws made obvious by the thematic music). The film ends when the animated Clouseau gets chased by the shark in the water (which was actually the pinkish panther) every bit the credits gyre.
